GfsInitSubmarineLandslide initialises three fields with the vertical displacement, and velocity components predicted by empirical formula. The object is adapted from the TOPICS software developped by Dr. P. Watts. The sources are that used in the version 1.2 of TOPICS, last modified in August 2009 by Dr. P. Watts.

where D is the root name of the variables to be initialised. The initial surface elevation will be stored in D and the u and v components of the initial velocity will be stored in D_U and D_V. The other parameters are :

x, y

coordinates of the fault's centroid,

alpha

counterclockwise angle of the failure plane with respect to the north.
